As it turns out the process of building a foundation is not very difficult - it is tiring however and if given the choice to build another one ever, we will pass on it. Carrying 40kg bags of concrete on a hot day is not really fun - next time we go for the pre mixed...
The foundation is definitely finished
So, it seems we succeeded in building the foundation for the greenhouse. Checking it this morning it is straight, hardening perhaps a bit too fast, but looking great.As you can see from T's quick post last night, it was a rough day yesterday. She was so tired that...
No more 40 kilo bags of concrete
The foundation is finished. The 35 - 25 kilo bags of concrete were not even remotely close to what we needed. Perhaps he meant to sell us 40 kilo bags instead...but we still would have needed more. After we were through the first 35, we had to take two more trips to...
Getting ready to pour the foundation
It's another beautiful day here at the farm and after taking a long walk with doggo this morning - she decided she would take a cool bath in the creek - and a quick trip to the local farm store we are getting getting ready to start mixing concrete.We are both still...

The beds are constructed.
It's another gorgeous day here and we've just finished the construction of the raised beds for the garden and just need to level out the dirt in the beds now and eventually add some fresh soil...which we still need to buy. We started the beds yesterday which you can...

New seeds & a bigger mini-greenhouse
When we were at Hagebau, the local home improvement store today, we picked up new soil starter pods and a bigger greenhouse that can hold 40 plants and has a much higher roof. So the cucumbers, both corns and the zucchini have found a new home in there. I imagine...
Our ideal garden – Chilies
It's official. We've started the first cayenne plants. We planted 5 sets of seeds today so we'll be monitoring them closely. We have a few other favorites to start growing in mind as well.Jalepenos - we actually consume quite a few jalepenos. We eat them on...
Building the first of the raised beds
Around 1.30pm this afternoon we finally were finished with our trip to the home improvement store and various other errands. It was time to get started on building the raised beds. We decided to start with the bed across the way from the future greenhouse as it is the...
